Former Myntra employees Rajul Jain, Anshuman Agarwal, and Romil Jain created Increff in 2016. Through its digital platform, the start-up aims to increase the overall effectiveness of warehouses in the retail and garment industries. The word “inventory efficiency,” which serves as the foundation for this start-development, up’s is where Increff gets its name.
The founder of Flipkart’s experience and expertise in the fashion and ecommerce industries has also been a huge asset to the start-up overall.
Bansal also advised the co-founders that they must bring significant value if they want to solve the problems facing this industry, as doing so will result in people paying them fairly. He also issued a warning, advising them to focus on one industry (fashion) rather than diversifying their offers into other fields.
